THE RITUAL FILM: DAVID BRUCKNER TALKS TO SCREAM MAGAZINE

The film is also featured in the October editions of both Total Film and Empire. In addition, the director, David Bruckner, has given a terrific and detailed interview about making the film in Scream Magazine.

The interview covers a whole array of topics: how David came to the project, why Rafe Spall was chosen for the character of Luke, the bear situation on the shoot in the Transylvanian mountains (I was there, and armed hunters patrolled the set), the technical challenges of making a film in that wild environment, the locations, the special effects, and David’s and Keith Thompson’s interpretation of the monster … it’s an enlightening interview and the full version is available here
